Category overview

Crane and lifting equipment operations represent some of the most critical and high-risk activities in the Australian construction industry. From towering tower cranes on multi-storey developments to mobile cranes positioning heavy materials, and from truck-mounted cranes on residential sites to overhead gantry systems in industrial facilities, these operations require meticulous planning, qualified operators, and comprehensive safety documentation. Every lifting operation must be supported by a Safe Work Method Statement that identifies hazards, implements controls, and ensures compliance with Work Health and Safety regulations.
